Trade and eGrocery

Fresh, healthy – and delivered with a low carbon footprint

The market for the delivery of fresh groceries has enormous potential for growth.

Although estimates suggest that around just 1.5 percent of all groceries in

Germany are ordered online, the trend is unequivocal. According to a study

conducted online by McKinsey, 82 percent of respondents from urban areas in

Germany have heard of it and around 30 percent have already ordered groceries

online – 10 percent of them do so regularly. In Germany and the USA, annual

growth expectations for eGrocery from 2018 to 2023 are running at approx.

20 percent1. In the already mature British market, annual growth still stands at

8.7 percent. The trend here is that the sector’s big players are no longer

outsourcing transportation from store to customer, but are instead operating their

own fleets in the interests of competitive differentiation and to allow them to offer

better customer service such as specific delivery windows. They also aim to

maintain a high standard of quality with their own trained, professional drivers.

However, the sector faces major challenges when it comes to the transportation of

temperature-sensitive goods. The crux of this is the optimum usage and cooling of

the load space, as different foodstuffs require different storage temperatures. In

addition to this, typical orders vary substantially from region to region. At the end of

the day, the vehicle must slot into the logistics chain in the most effective way

possible. Enormous cost pressures throughout the entire sector mean large-scale

automation of goods picking and loading is an urgent requirement. Furthermore,

zero-emissions is a topic growing in importance for all companies in the booming

Page 2 eGrocery sector. Companies that promise fast delivery direct to the door need to

be able to drive into all areas, and only vehicles with zero local emissions will be

able to fulfil this in the long term.

Mercedes-Benz Vans is thus entering into new types of cooperation with customers

and partners. Working closely with all stakeholders leads to solutions tailormade to

specific use cases and unites the established strengths of Mercedes-Benz Vans

with new ways of working. Teams are analysing customer value chains, working

processes and challenges, developing innovative concepts, producing initial

prototypes and testing them in pilot projects with selected customers.

Mercedes-Benz Vans used this customer co-creation approach with bodybuilder

Kerstner to develop the "Polarfuchs" ["Arctic Fox"]. Based on the eVito, it is a

perfect eGrocery vehicle for urban areas. It has an electric drive and battery-

electric refrigeration system, enabling it to deliver groceries with zero local

emissions.

In September, the "Polarfuchs" ["Arctic Fox"] demonstrated its suitability for

everyday use in a four-week pilot project with online meal kit provider HelloFresh in

Belgium. The "Polarfuchs" ["Arctic Fox"] supported up to 50 deliveries per tour and

was able to keep the temperature in the cargo area (chilled goods) reliably. Thus it

fulfilled the urban delivery use case successfully.

Page 4 Service and Crafts

New options beyond the classic usage models

Service technicians and tradespeople use their vehicles as parts stores on wheels

and for the workshop equipment they need to do their jobs. Driving is not the

company’s main activity, but a means to an end. The van is the only way to get to

the job quickly and efficiently and, once there, to find a solution for all challenges

that arise. A cargo space that can be individualised, a shelving system or

workbench, being able to use the driver’s cab as a workstation for handling

customer jobs, but most of all a low purchase price and maintenance costs are

clear customer requirements in the service/workshop sector. Efficiency pressures

are growing in this traditional and well-established segment, too. Connectivity

solutions in particular are offering options for optimisation or even changing the

business case altogether.

One example is the organisation and management of materials and tools.

In-van delivery, for instance, whereby the van is stocked with spare parts

overnight, is becoming increasingly popular but, at the same time, is creating

new challenges. For one thing, suppliers need a key to the vehicle and, for another,

when the vehicle is being restocked, parts no longer required are removed. The

Mercedes-Benz Smart-Return Box could help with this. No need for handling

multiple different keys, while limiting unlocking to a specific time window when the

vehicle is unlocked via an app using state-of-the-art connectivity services. Modern

telematics systems promise considerable cost and time savings by registering

changes in traffic situations almost in real time and adapting route guidance to suit.

Page 6 People Mover

Comfortable for passengers, cost-effective for operators

The people-moving sector is characterised by the diverse demands of a variety of

different groups and use cases. However, companies always expect a reliable

vehicle capable of standing up to the cost pressures faced by public and private

passenger transportation. The driver’s priority is an attractive workplace that also

makes it possible to get the job done efficiently and in as much comfort as

possible. If vehicles are used for a shuttle service and are thus also a business card

for the company, quality and design excellence matter just as much as comfortable

and luxurious appointments. In this respect, a base vehicle for people moving has

to span the divide between modest functional transportation and comfortable

luxury – depending on intended use.

Nevertheless, all user groups have a shared demand for high maximum payload as

well as consumption-optimised, efficient drives, which also ensure mobility in urban

areas. The debate surrounding the improvement of air quality in cities will lead to

an increase in public transportation as a proportion of the modal mix. Re-equipping

fleets with efficient, low-emissions drives is one logical consequence of this.

New mobility concepts also capable of incorporating rural areas call for greater

individualisation of local public transport. Rigid routes and times will be things of

the past. The vision of individualised public transport is being enabled by

connectivity services. Passengers can use apps to order their people movers. The

request appears automatically in the telematics system, which automatically adapts

the route, taking current traffic conditions into account. However, the minibus

based on a Mercedes-Benz doesn’t just receive data, it also sends it. Seat sensors

log the number of passengers, register this within the app and match capacity with

demand. This kind of route optimisation guarantees the service achieves the best-

possible capacity utilisation.

But passengers don’t just want to be transported from A to B. They also want their

time in the vehicle to be as comfortable as possible, and to make best use of that

time through individualisation options. In terms of digitalisation, interior concepts

also have to be adapted specifically to passenger needs: USB charging points

ensure sufficient power, a Wi-Fi hotspot provides each passenger with their own

dedicated connection to the digital outside world. Raising the interior fit and finish

of the cab to car-like levels satisfies the various needs and demands of all target

groups. Optional air suspension and individual climate control provide each

passenger with the comfort they are used to in a car.

Page 10 Restricted Mobility

Independence and self-reliance through mobility

Mobility is one of the fundamental needs of our society. It defines our quality of life

and ensures social contact. To be mobile means creating the basis for self-reliance

and independence in life. For people with disabilities, participation in professional

and social life is heavily dependent upon the availability of transportation. The topic

of inclusion is also attracting increasing focus on an international level. In 2006,

the United Nations reached an accord concerning the rights of people with

disabilities2. The aim is to achieve equal access to living environments, to

transportation, information, communication – i.e. all facilities and services available

to the general public. Since then, the topic of transport options for people with

restricted mobility has also gained in importance.

Individual transport solutions – and how they provide driving services for people

with restricted mobility – are incredibly important in rural areas in particular3. The

more rural the environment, the smaller the proportion of public transportation

within the modal split. The “Mobility in Germany” survey established that around

75 percent of the entire rural population rarely or never use buses or trains4. For

people with mobility restrictions, this figure is likely to be even higher, as getting to

the nearest bus stop or train station often represents an even greater hurdle than

in the city.

In cities, on the other hand, low-emissions vehicles will become increasingly

important to people with mobility restrictions, as it is not just the last mile but the

last metre that matters to this target group when it comes to ensuring their

everyday mobility. Driving services for people with disabilities in particular will

therefore have to switch their fleets to electric drive.

The Mercedes-Benz Vito and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter offer an ideal basis for

diverse and flexible people-moving options, expanded to accommodate

comfortable and secure transport of wheelchair users. Passengers who are

transported while seated in a wheelchair are exposed to particular risks. With the

aid of dedicated safety-restraint systems, wheelchairs must therefore be fixed to

the vehicle floor and the user secured within it. Special head and back supports

Sprinter – the perfect base for motorhomes

The market for motorhomes has been growing consistently for nearly ten years5.

European registrations topped 125,000 vehicles6 in 2018 marking an increase of

12.9 percent over the previous year. In Germany alone, the value of new vehicle

sales rose between 2009 and 2018 from just under 2 to more than 6.4 billion

euros7. In the USA, the world’s largest market for caravans and motorhomes8, the

number of camper households grew in 2018 to 1.4 million – 56 percent of them

millennials. It is thanks to this generation that travelling and living in motorhomes

has become nothing short of a lifestyle revolution in social media. The hashtag

#vanlife has appeared on more than five million posts. The needs of motorhome

users and bodybuilders therefore featured heavily in the development of the third-

generation Sprinter.

As a consequence, the current Sprinter has a broader range of variants on offer.

Alongside the proven panel van and chassis-cab variants, it is now also available for

the first time as a tractor head. In this variant, driveline, tank and all ancillaries are

located in front of the B-pillar, i.e. close to the cab. The frame and rear axle are

installed individually and connected to the tractor head. This way, Mercedes-Benz

gives bodybuilders enormous freedom in how they design the body and, therefore,

the living area. The Sprinter’s driveline choices are just as tailormade as the body

variants – available with front-wheel, rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.

The latest Sprinter also offers excellent safety with an array of assistance systems

that were previously reserved for Mercedes-Benz car models. These include the

DISTRONIC radar-based adaptive cruise control, active Brake Assist and

ATTENTION ASSIST. The Sprinter’s interior design has a car-like feel about it, too.

Applying the latest Mercedes-Benz design language to the iconic van’s cockpit was

a must, while the MBUX multimedia system is available as an option with an

HD display measuring up to 10.25 inches.

Page 14 Besides these qualities, the Sprinter also boasts an exceptionally high level of

comfort – thanks in part to a variety of different hardware features that are

especially well suited to motorhome applications. These include the ergonomically

shaped, swivelling driver and passenger seats and the electric parking brake,

enabling free access from the cockpit to the living area. In addition to this, the

third-generation Sprinter offers two very special highlights for motorhome users:

One is Mercedes me connect, which enables connectivity in and around the cab.

The standard Mercedes me connect services include the basic maintenance,

accident and breakdown management services as well as tele-diagnostics and

vehicle remote diagnostics. These can be optionally augmented with the vehicle

set-up services and more. The vehicle set-up services enable features such as

remote interrogation of tyre pressure, fuel level and AdBlue level. The services can

be accessed from anywhere via smartphone app or PC provided there is an internet

connection. This is also possible from the vehicle cockpit via MBUX.

As well as the connectivity applications in front of the B-pillar, the Sprinter also

facilitates connectivity in the motorhome’s living area via the new interface module

called Mercedes-Benz Advanced Control (MBAC). MBAC networks certain

components in the living area, such as lighting, heating and the water tank, and

allows them to be controlled from a central location – i.e. the MBUX touch display

in the cockpit, an additional touch display in the living space or via a smartphone

app using Bluetooth. Every motorhome based on a Sprinter is thus a smart home

on wheels. Bodybuilders will be able to order MBAC as an option by the end of this

year.

Page 18 CEP and Logistics

Participation in a booming market

Online retail and the CEP sector exist in a perfect symbiosis. Because every

package ordered online has to be delivered, both sectors have been enjoying

impressive and steady growth for years. In 2016, parcel deliveries in Germany

smashed through the three billion mark – which equates to more than ten million

deliveries per day. By 2018, the number of deliveries had risen to more than

3.5 billion – more than double the numbers at the start of the millennium. Sector

experts are anticipating more than four billion deliveries per year by 2021. No other

sector is showing anything like this kind of performance in average value creation –

at an average of six to eight percent growth per year.

However, because average earnings per delivery have been falling continuously

since 2007, maximum efficiency is the order of the day for the CEP sector.

Avoiding empty journeys and reducing loading and unloading times are the main

variables that have a direct impact on profit margins. Efficient and, ideally,

interactive route planning in real time can relieve traffic and companies alike.

Parcel sorting and delivery is especially tough at peak times (Christmas, Black

Friday and Easter), when parcel volume reaches up to 150 percent. The job of a

delivery driver is physically demanding, meaning vehicles must be designed to be

as ergonomic as possible in order to reduce downtime and absenteeism. Not least,

the CEP sector has to prepare itself for ever-tightening emissions restrictions on

the last mile.

Virtually all large parcel delivery companies work with subcontractors, with the

purchasing decision of many sole traders based primarily on economy. However,

another fundamental requirement is the ability to work efficiently under ergonomic

conditions. Consequently, the cab has to be a perfect workstation, while the van’s

loading edge must be low for ease of loading and unloading. Plus, to cover all

demands, the product line-up has to span from an entry-level version to a highly

efficient, fully equipped model.

Page 22 Construction

Getting the job done under the toughest conditions

The trades often have to drive long distances to construction sites – on motorways

and trunk roads. The crew would like to cover that route as quickly and as

comfortably as possible. But the last hundred metres is often over rough terrain –

muddy, sandy and rocky. And once they get there, vehicles on building sites are not

treated with kid gloves.

It’s good to know that there’s a partner you can rely on, capable of mastering all

manner of adversity. Loyalty comes only with great performance. The owners of

medium-sized businesses in the building trade appreciate powerful vehicles with a

high tonnage – especially if they spend a lot of time on construction sites. And they

also want a van that can take a lot of abuse and remain fully reliable – in the face

of heavy wear-and-tear and in the hands of multiple different drivers. Because the

job done by whole crew depends on the vehicle working smoothly, there should be

no unscheduled repairs. A higher price is an acceptable trade-off for this.

Connectivity functions keep modern construction vehicles in touch with the

company at all times. The engines have to deliver car-like performance, while the

latest assistance systems guarantee a high level of safety, even with frequent driver

changes. On longer journeys, excellent ride and handling characteristics are a must

for keeping everyone comfortable.

However, it’s once they arrive at their destination that vehicles from

Mercedes-Benz Vans truly show what they’re made of. Whether it’s switchable

all-wheel drive, a gross vehicle weight of up to 5 tonnes, which also makes them

suitable for carrying heavy bulk cargo, or a trailer load of up to 3.5 tonnes, which

also facilitates transport of heavy plant and machinery – they offer the right

solution for every challenge. And because clothing and shoes rarely stay clean on

building sites, the interiors are so hard-wearing that they don’t even flinch at steam

jets fired by pressure washers – preparing them in no time to take on the next

tough job.

Emergency, Rescue and Municipal

From rescue services to police vehicles

They are the kinds of vehicle we all hope we will never need. However, the approx.

21,000 ambulances and rescue vehicles in Germany alone are indispensable

elements of a functional first-response system and are called upon more than

14 million times a year9. Demographic changes mean that requirements for such

vehicles have grown starkly over the last 20 years, with virtually all forms of usage

having doubled.

Rescue services need a variety of different vehicles with a wide range of usage

profiles – from straightforward patient transportation to ambulances and other first-

response vehicles. A standard patient-transport vehicle brings individuals unable to

drive themselves to hospital, the doctor’s office or rehabilitation clinic, and is

equipped with a stretcher, carry chair, first-aid set and an emergency backpack as

well as simple oxygen equipment and usually an external defibrillator (AED).

An accident or medical emergency, on the other hand, involves an ambulance. It is

a little bigger and offers first responders more room to work. An ambulance is

equipped to provide the patient with a professional oxygen supply and an ECG for

monitoring heartbeat. There is also a comprehensive range of medication onboard

and, in an emergency, the facility to perform lifesaving procedures. Both types of

vehicle are based on van chassis, either as a panel van or with a rigid box body.

When responding to a call-out, the number one priority is safety. Ambulances are

normally electronically limited to a top speed of 130 or 140 km/h – higher speeds

would be too risky with such heavy bodies. Driving speeds are far lower when the

patient is onboard. Patients lie on an air-sprung gurney, and are secured by belts.

Because doctors and paramedics have to wear seatbelts while the vehicle is in

motion, treatment can only be administered when the vehicle is at a standstill. The

primary function while the ambulance is moving is therefore patient monitoring. In

critical situations, the paramedic can use an alarm button to signal the driver to

stop.

Page 26 One challenge for all ambulance builders is vehicle weight. While it is not a problem

keeping most patient-transport vehicles below the 3.5-tonne limit, the same cannot

be said for ambulances. A lightweight chassis is therefore an increasingly important

prerequisite for ambulance suitability.

First-response vehicles may only be responsible for getting the emergency doctor

or paramedics to the casualty as quickly as possible (to meet the ambulance crew),

but it is packed to the roof with all sorts of necessities including a large quantity of

medications and anaesthetics, some of which have to be kept cool and others kept

warm. And in this respect, they are similar to police vehicles, which require plenty

of room for officers of larger stature and storage space for new equipment to deal

with riots and terrorist attacks as well as gear for securing accident sites. This is

usually too much for estate cars or compact SUVs. Compact vans are the vehicles

of choice because they also don’t present a problem for tight alleyways and roads

narrowed by parked vehicles.
